A friend who lives nearby and frequents the restaurant recommended it, and he knows the owner very well. Overall, I had a pleasant dinner with the Pork BBQ set for two and some Soju. The sauce and side dishes were average, not particularly standing out compared to top competitors in town. The price seemed high for the quantity of meat served. While the service and atmosphere were great, something was missing to give it the highest rating for meal quality. Update on 10/31/2024 We were served by new employees who joined this restaurant today and yesterday. While they were friendly and approachable, they may need more proactive service.

Kalbi and Ngyeonmun 1+1 Dinner Combo special - only to find out the restaurant stopped said special, and limited it to everyday, but only between the hours 1-3pm. What in the damn tarnation is this!!? Was so heated - I ripped a shrub out of the ground and roofed it over the strip-mall out of pure anger, and cartwheeled away like an idiot.

This local mom-and-pop spot is serving some of the most comforting Korean food in the Suwanee / Duluth area. The server that day was super nice and she explained all the food we ordered and how to eat it the best way. Pork Belly Kimchi Jeongol -- recommend Rich, deep kimchi broth with that perfect fermented flavor. Slightly spicy, super savory, but not too heavy. Cook the pork belly right in the soup and eat it with kimchi + rice... SO satisfying. LA Galbi + Naengmyeon Combo -- recommend The galbi is super tender, juicy, and well-marinated -- way better than expected. The naengmyeon has that classic chewy, bouncy texture. Topped with gochujang-based bibim sauce, so it's spicy, tangy, bold, but still refreshing at the same time. Lowkey addictive. Fried Mandoo Not handmade, but fried to a perfect golden crisp. Trust me... dip it into the kimchi broth ‍ If you're looking for authentic Korean food in Suwanee / Duluth, this spot is definitely worth a try.

TLDR: Food 3.5/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Service 1/5. Would pick up food to go but would not choose…read moreto dine in again. During my short time in the Buford area, I've come to this place twice in the last two days. The food brought me back as well as proximity to our hotel, however if I were local, the service would drive me away. The type of staff that seems more, interested in hanging out and talking with each other than actually serving the customers. First day I was here. I got the bulgogi Omurice dish and it was tasty. I expected the omelette actually cover the entire portion of rice (top and bottom like an omelette which it didn't. Nevertheless, served piping hot in the stone dish and the flavors were good and not overpowering, and the portion was large. A decent value. The second day, after learning a lesson from the previous one, my wife and I split the Bulgogi fried rice dish (which she had gotten the day before.) Again, the flavors did not disappoint. The rub came when my cousin and I, who have two Independent families and who paid separately, were bulked together as one large group so that a mandatory service fee could be tacked on. When I asked, they said the computer made them charge the service fee. This is in addition to having the system prompt for a tip in addition. The ironic part is that we weren't even standing next to each other in line. Then if you are going to charge a service fee, we would expect to have some solid service that is pretty prompt. Small things such as being able to get water when and as soon as you sit down (perhaps they were busy?), as well as having the sufficient amount of silverware (perhaps they just miscounted?) and actually people smile when they're helping you (perhaps it was the end of the day and they were tired?). Lots of hypotheticals. Just a higher expectation of service, especially when being subject to this service fee. Nevertheless, the family enjoyed the food. We are in and out and about 45 minutes and I'm leaving town today so it doesn't really matter but if you're looking for great service, this isn't the place for you but if you just need a quick bite to pick up and take back to your home or hotel,, go for it.

I am deeply saddened to write this view in particular because I feel like there some very…read moredisturbing undertones to the nature of the service I received in this restaurant on this visit. First, let me say that I love this restaurant. I live in South Metro Atlanta, so for me to come all the way up to Buford, Georgia to eat at this place, I really like it. My previous experience has been nothing short of excellent. Even on this visit, the food was excellent and I had no complaints with its quality or in the environment in the establishment. However, when I walked in, I was greeted my an extremely rude young man at the front counter. He was so rude that, I decided to leave and went back to my car. As I sat there, I had to remind myself that I had driven over an hour and it would have been foolish to leave at this point. So, I went back inside and ordered. Again, extremely rude to myself and my guest. It was so bad that my guest also noticed. Even in telling us where to sit, he acted as if I was bothering him by coming inside and ordering food. When our food arrived to the table, he just slammed it down and walked off like he was annoyed. What was even more telling about how, insanely, disturbing his behavior, was that when he and his 'shift' left and was replaced my some young ladies, the experience, completely changed! I mean, immediately changed. The young ladies were helpful, pleasant, and friendly. The mood changed so drastically like night and day. Again, this food is good! The environment is neat! But, if this young man is continued to be allowed to interact with customers, there will be some continued problems.

My mom visited Duluth and brought me gop chang combination Togo from here, which I very much enjoyed so I decided to come here and try it personally and I just was not impressed. Venue: hmm. I consider it more on the smaller sized venue. Sectioned off table for privacy which is common and great quality. Food: ordered beef brisket, pork belly and gopchang (Ala carte) combination options did not match what I wanted. Beef brisket was so tough and chewy. We all looked at each other questioning the quality of this beef. On the other hand, pork belly was exceptional. Great flavor. Was very content with gopchang too. Banchan was mediocre. Love the bean powder (the magic sauce) as a dry meat dip which adds savory sweet taste that enhances the flavor. Whoever created this is a culinary genius. Service: the young lady who sat us to the table was nice then a male server took over. I'm guessing maybe he had a bad day, or just don't want to be there. Not personable. He was grilling for us but our family especially my mother who was there eats speed of sloth, very slow eater. I asked him courteously "can I cook this myself because we are slow eaters". He said "no, I'm going to do it" and slabbed all the meat on the grill. As a Korean person who has been eating in Korean bbq restaurant and home for over 4 decade this was my first. Everyone on the table was speechless. We had to eat in speed and other meats burned. Whilst I love eating gopchang crispy which requires longer cooking, the server came and turned off the grill. Maybe I'll come back just one more time as I really enjoyed the pork. Maybe I'll catch a better server or catch him on better day.

Last weekend we ate dinner here and it was so so at best. The quality and service used to be so much better. After ordering, we waited over 30 minutes for our dipping sauce... had to remind the server over again. And the taste was not on point. They weren't even that busy with lot of open tables and rooms. We even grilled all the meat ourself. The side dishes they gave us weren't very flavorful, too. I have always liked their other location, it's always much cleaner and the quality and service are always top notch.

The only complaint about the bowl is that we ran out of protein in our bowls before we were done. Wish the serving of protein was a bit more. We also just wanted water to drink and there were the smallest cups (just a bit bigger than bathroom size) so we had to refill often. Also, the water was not very cool. The girl who helped us was nice enough. We may come back some time and try these bowls again.

The meat was tender and juicy with a perfectly crisp exterior, and the savory gravy on the side elevated this dish to another level. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely return.

There is a decent amount of seating inside which is also pretty clean. As far as the ambiance, it can get rowdy or stay quiet depending on dining hours. I thought service was good! The servers were very attentive. I got the tofu soup combination which consisted of LA Galbi and Soft Tofu Soup! I had a bit of the soondubu and it was alright. I feel like it could have used a bit more seasoning as it tasted a bit bland. The LA Galbi was delicious! It was meaty, tender, and marinaded well. I also loved the kimchi as it was the right amount of spicy and sour. Overall, I would come back to try their other foods such as the Kimchi Pancake or Grilled Pork Belly. I think it is a decent place for soondubu but it is way better for other food.
